Description: |
The OHTN Applied HIV Research Chair was developed to help realize the mission of the OHTN : to improve the health and well-being of people living with and at risk of HIV in Ontario through a network that promotes research and evidence to drive change. The OHTN will only provide salary support that is directly used to expand existing research time and workload. The OHTN will not provide funding for researchers who have tenured research positions, or those who have salary support for research from other sources. Community engagement in HIV research is viewed by the OHTN as an essential mechanism to ensuring that research is relevant to community needs. The funding policy Funding Research with Real-Life Impact reinvigorates the OHTN?s commitment to meaningfully engage community members throughout the research process. |
